| Abstract: | This study aims to develop a comprehensive tourism satellite account-human resource module (TSA-HRM) which can complement and enhance the analytical capacity provided by the TSA, allowing for a broader insight into the role of tourism in the economy, in particular that of Egypt. In order to answer the research questions, one strategy and one method associated with the qualitative approach are used. The strategy refers to the case study, while the method refers to participant observation. An in-depth analysis of the TSA project in Egypt was carried out using the Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF) introduced by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Statistics on tourism-related employment in Egypt are indicated to be usually fragmented, difficult to compare and often lack quality, credibility and reliability. Hence, there is a need to find a way to improve tourism labour market statistics. |
